XSL, XSLT and XPath questions would be better posted to the following list:
http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
There are a number of subscribers who would enthusiastically respond to
such questions.
There is also an *excellent* FAQ at:
http://www.dpawson.co.uk

Careful with the above, you are asking for the value of a child element
named "valueofit" which I suspect is not what you want.
>or : <xsl:variable name="nameofit">value of it</xsl:variable>
Co-incidentally acceptable, but for string values it is better as:
<xsl:variable name="nameofit" select="'valueofit'"/>
>call it : $nameofit
<xsl:value-of select="$nameofit"/>

If you are using the old Microsoft code, then helpful information regarding
the latest Microsoft MSXML DLL can be found at:

I hope this helps.
